Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
Alfred had the felicity of possessing a literary friend, Asser, of Saint David's, who composed some biographical sketches of his great master's life and manners.
His work is somewhat rude and incomplete; but it is estimable for its apparent candour and unaffected simplicity.
It is the effusion of a sensible, honest, observ ing' mind.
The information which it conveys has never been contradicted, and harmonises with every other history or tradition, that has been preserved concerning Alfred.
The merits of Alfred, therefore, are supported by a degree of evidence which seldom attends the characters of ancient days.
But we shall be able to exhibit him still more satisfactorily, in his own words from his own works.
